You'll find three large zips here. The first one being the original NM Classic patch archive. The next one is a combined archive of the original patches and the patches converted into G2 format and the last one is an archive containing the converted patches only.

All the zips have the non patch files from the original archive in them, hopefully providing some context.

The combined archive contains an ISO file as the archive was too large to be zippable. Here you can find some info about using ISO image files under windows XP. Search for "At What are ISO image files and how do I use them" to get to the info quickly. I have no info for other OSes, if someone has some please add a follow up post.

I wonder if it would be worth making a change to nm2g2 to help zip make smaller files (for the sake of bandwidth).
I noticed that a converted patch has all 8 variations set identically. This saves you the trouble of using the 'copy to' option in the editor if you want to make some new variations. But for such a large archive, having all the bits of variation 2-8 + vari.Init, set to zero might make a significant difference to the zip file size.

It would probably help to make the zips smaller, it would not however make the combined archive zippable as it's the number of files that prevents winzip doing it (winzip 8.1 used)._________________Jan

I still dont understand the number problem because i ve the combined as a zip here ???
Is your lib version bigger? or just not as cleaned up?
in the actual version there are also the 200something 2.0 files converted.
so its actually also an update for the Nm1 lib

One is that I did not remove the non-patch files. The reason for that is that I think it provides extra context.

The other is that I kept the original directory structure, which seems to have the categorized patches duplicated in the complete tree. But this way it is the same as the original archive.

When people think the extra files and the duplicate files should be removed I will try do so next time, but this means that the original archive should be cleaned up as well._________________Jan

I had a look thru this files and havent found them useful..they rather relate to the threads on the list and without the related thread i dont see reason for photos of screenshots and alike.

Its however not so that qfingers conversion got rid of these files..but its less..only 49 .jpgs for example..
You have to ask him what the differences really are..but i guess he is doing that all script based..maybe his scripts automatical remove data trash or something like that...
The advantae in the combined folder is taht updates are ultraquick...
a version that got rid of the yesterday reported bugs..that are actually all cleared by now allready would be availible in 2 hours..

with all v2.0 patches converted to 3.0 .pch and the pch2 versions aswell...

next 3 bugs found..another 2 hours...ready...

However..wish there would be more bugs reported..
its probably not so many in it anymore..but...

Its such a complex system with so many modules and ways to connect them in weard ways...

When people think the extra files and the duplicate files should be removed I will try do so next time, but this means that the original archive should be cleaned up as well.

I sympathize with those who have download issues or don't want the extra files. However, I'm not sure removing them from the original archive is a good idea. I agree that the extra files may contain context and be of use to some people, especially people who joined the Nord community long after all those patches & supporting files were developed.

its not that the original Nm1 archive stopped to exsist...
It would be nice if one day the interesting threads archive would be interlinked with the lib..and than any posted file is from interest..

For the conversion lib its mainly the patches itself and the author names that are from interest...
Therefore its good that we work with the Authors folders and not the cattegorized archive...

just with the authors name its possible to find related threads in the main archive and list archive if someone really wants that...

Actually it would be good if all the files would be just zips to make it easier for the user.. to achive this goal for the combined archive i would recomend just to use the version from qfinger..especially because we need it to be updated as regulary and quickly as the program..
The combined archive is ment for debuging..its not usefull when this is another version than the programmer works with...

the singel g2 archive can be different..it also could hold hand optimized tweeks..retuned Chet Singer patches for example..
single folders..sound cattegorys..what ever..

but the workbase in the moment is the combined archive me and Q-finger are using... It would be a question of minutes to update that file on the server ..
I really dont see the point to refuse that file especially because the other has less succesfull conversions. Or has somebody else done the transfer of the 270 v2.0 patches yet?... mainly marco ettlich and christian vogel patches when i remember the list correctly
